Use of amorphous monodispersed spinel film electrode in photo-electrochemical cells

Structural and optical properties of chemically synthesized monodispersed CdCr2S4 films

“…The CCS film showed a electrical resistivity of 0.78 Â 10 5 O cm at 300 K which is closely related to 0.8 Â 10 5 O cm reported by Lade et al [7]. From the polarity of thermoelectric voltage generated across the cold and hot junctions, n-type conductivity in support to our photoelectrochemical report [20] is confirmed. …”

“…Film showed 1:2:4 chemical stoichiometric ratio for three said elementals (for structural and chemical analysis details see Ref. [20]). …”

Recent status of chemical bath deposited metal chalcogenide and metal oxide thin films

“…CdCr 2 Se 4 , HgCr 2 Se 4 and CuCr 2 Se 4 have acquired scientific interest and importance since the sixties due to their outstanding properties like giant magnetoresistance, photoferromagnetic effects, red shift of the optical absorption edge, giant Faraday rotation and others, providing the basis for the design of devices with various applications. Amorphous CdCr 2 S 4 film electrodes on glass and FTO substrates have been prepared by Todkar et al [207,208] and PEC behavior has been investigated. The film composed of smallelongated particles of 100e150 nm in length and 10e20 nm in diameter.…”

Spinel photocatalysts for environmental remediation, hydrogen generation, CO2 reduction and photoelectrochemical water splitting

“…Moreover, amorphous spinel of CdCr 2 S 4 photoelectrode was prepared using an indium tin oxides (ITO) glass as the substrate though a chemical bath deposition method 117 . The photoelectrochemical measurements were made at room temperature in 0.1 M polysulphide solution.…”
